And I guess, I know in my head that I am forgiven by God, but how I can convince myself is another story Knowing it and feeling it in your heart and soul is where you want to be. Also, I understand about the diff btwn wanting and needing. My strongest desire is for my H to WANT me, I already know he needs me.

NOW - I can really relate to you. I think it is exceptionally hard for women. After raising kids, and be married, we tend to lose ourselves.

I think you are going through a very healthy stage. You have a longing, a hole in your spirit. Sometimes what is needed is just to let it be. Don't try to fill it with something.

We all like to stay in the shallow water where we are comfortable. It might be time for you to move out into the deep water. It doesn't matter if the water is 8 feet deep, or a thousand feet deep. Trust that as you move out in faith, you will be filled.
